Palace mantém atacante, recusando oferta de R$ 200 milhões do Chelsea

Chelsea and Crystal Palace will face each other this Wednesday (27th) at 4:30 PM (Brasília time) in a Premier League match. The game will be exclusively broadcasted for Star+ subscribers. One of the highlights of the match will be Michael Olise, who will face his former team, Chelsea. Olise was the standout player for Palace last season and caught the attention of Chelsea, who even triggered his release clause. However, there was a twist in the story. After Chelsea agreed to pay the release clause of 35 million pounds (approximately R$ 217 million), the player declined the transfer and chose to stay at Palace. Not only did this decision disappoint Chelsea, but Olise also extended his contract with Palace for four more seasons until June 2027. The details of his new release clause have been kept confidential. Olise has scored two goals and provided one assist in seven games this season. In the previous season, he scored two goals and provided 11 assists in 40 games. Now, after deciding to stay, Olise needs to perform well to help Palace overcome their precarious situation. The team is currently in 15th place with 18 points and aims to climb the table to distance themselves from the relegation zone. On the other hand, Chelsea is in 10th place and has been inconsistent so far with 22 points from 18 games.
